Greenwich Village. New York

Sanctum Sanctorum.

We begin our journey within the bowels of the Sanctum Sanctorum the personal sanctuary of Dr. Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme.

The good doctor was on one of his astrological projection voyages; where his spirit visits the many parallel universes that are very much like our own but are different in some way; some cases only in a minor way or in others quite drastically. However on this fateful journey he will discover a horror of unheard of proportion.

'Hmm what do we have here? The planet is similar to Earth but seems to be several centuries in the past. Though in the past the population is extremely low only a few hundred thousands, yet no sign of war of plague. The soil is very rich in nutrients, there are many plants and animals, no signs of famine. I wonder what could caus...wait a minute...what in heaven!...No!...This Can't Be...No! No! Nooooooo!'

"WONG!" Stephen screamed.

He slammed through the dimensions and back into his own body and his manservant and loyal companion Wong burst through his master's door.

"Stephen what troubles you!?" asked Wong, he was expecting intruders and combat only to find his dear friend on his knees.

Stephen was panting heavily and sweating profusely; his hands covered his face and was on the verge of tears.

"Wong something catastrophic has happened,"

"What's happened Stephen? Should we alert the Avengers?"

"No Wong not here, not on Earth. There is another world in another plain of existence and is currently under siege by a horrible evil. This evil is that of which I have never experienced, and one I pray never will again. Come Wong we must act quickly,"

"Stephen I don't understand you rarely meddle in the affairs of other dimensions,"

"Yes Wong rarely, but this is one of the few exceptions. At this very moment this world is being laid waste by evil that is beyond my comprehension. It is unrelenting and it devours the innocent. I will not stand by and allow this to continue," Stephen said fiercely.

"Very well Stephen what do we have to do?" Wong asked.

"Not us old friend. We cannot travel to this cursed place, but I know someone who not only has the power to travel to this world, but will also be able to wipe out this terror from the fabric of space and time," Stephen claimed

Wong stared at the doctor with confusion.

"But Stephen who could possibly be so powerful that he surpass even you in the knowledge of the supernatural?"

Strange looked at his friend with a stern look on his face.

"He Who Walks Between Worlds,"

"YOU DON'T MEAN!"

"Yes Wong I do! They are the only ones who can help us,"

"But which one Stephen? Last we knew they were all on other duties. Are there any available?"

"There is one he's the youngest of them, only eighteen, but his heart is pure and he is as powerful as all of them. I will fetch him and ask of his assistants,"

"Are you sure he'll agree?"

"He has to Wong. Jack Claymore is this world's only hope,"

New York.

A Random Ally.

A car pulled into an ally in New York it stopped ten feet from a large truck, guarded by a gang of rough looking men. A man in a tailored suit stepped out of the car, followed by two armed goons, he walked up to the leader of the street gang.

"Do you have the merchandise?" he asked.

"Yeah we've got the brats tied up in the truck. They're all clean no junkies no S.T.D's fifty in total just like you ordered," the leader chuckled "We always deliver,"

The man in the suit smiled a sickly grin. "Excellent kingpin will be very pleased,"

"Kingpin! You didn't tell me we were working for him,"

"You're not. I am; you're just the delivery boy," said the suited man, with a sigh of exasperation.

"Oh yeah, well maybe this delivery boy will raise the price? And if you're not willing to pay then I'm sure we could find a dozen mugs who'll take the street rats off our hands. Ones who'll show us a lot more respect than you have buddy,"

"I want you to think very carefully about this my friend. Kingpin controls all the organized crime in the country if not the world. Do you really think you could take him on?" the man in the suit warned.

A moment of tense silence passed.

"He can't but I can," said a voice out of the darkness; startling both men.

Out of the darkness came a young man in his late teens. He was dressed in a black pea coat, black slacks black leather boots and a black fedora.

The hooligans stared at the approaching young man till he stopped at the front of the car.

"And who are you?" scoffed the suited man.

"I am the one who'll take down the kingpin, and burn his empire around him,"

"Check it out boys! Looks like we got ourselves a Jr. Avenger," the gang leader chides.

The stranger chuckled.

"An Avenger? No I'm nowhere near that merciful. But I'm not feeling up to a fight tonight so I'll give you one chance to run away and no harm will befall you," He warned.

The entire group burst into a fit of laughter.

"You really think one of you could take all eight of us!" one of the gang members barked.

"This is your last chance. Leave. Now,"

"I'm sick of this punk. Fill him full of lead boys!" Shouted the gang leader.

The entire group opened fire on the young stranger before them, the spray of bullets created a smoke cloud . When the smoke settled their arrogant smiles were wiped away when they saw the stranger still standing, as if the bullets went right through him. The stranger looked up from the ground with his eyes lit ablaze like balls of fire.

"That was a dumb mistake. Also you're last," he said with a demonic growl.

Suddenly his body burst into flames, and when they died down what stood before the criminals was not human. His skin had vaporized leaving only a skull covered in flames.

"WHAT IN HOLY HELL ARE YOU!?" cried the street gang leader.

The demonic figure ran towards him at inhuman speeds, grabbed him by his neck and pulled him close to whisper in his ear.

"Vengeance,"

The flaming demon then pulled a large knife from within his coat, glowing white with heat, he stabbed the man he was holding in the back. The leader screamed in horrible agony as his entire body turned to ash. Then the fiery stranger slammed him into the street, causing him to crumble and blow away with the wind.

The rest of the criminals stared in shock and horror at what they had just witnessed. One of them opened fire on the skeletal assailant, the others followed his lead. When they ran out of ammunition the stranger stood there as two chains slithered out of his sleeves, as if they were alive.

"My turn," he said.

He began to swing the chains in a complete circle hitting each hooligan and causing them to suffer the same fate as their other comrade. When he was finished all that was left was the suited man who fell to the ground when he started to swing the chains. The stranger grabbed him by his suit jacket and pinned him against the ally wall.

"Y-y-you're the one who's been hitting the shipments. Y-y-you've caused the boss a lot of grief,"

The stranger chuckled "So you know what I am, and what I want,"

"Y-y-you'll never get anything out of me,"

"Oh yes. Yes I will. Now look into my.."

"Greetings and salutations, Rider Jack Claymore," came a voice from beside the now identified Rider.

The Rider turned and saw Dr. Strange appear from a cloud of purple smoke.

"Ahh Doctor Stephen Strange. To what do I owe the pleasure of a visit from the Sorcerer Supreme?" he asked sarcastically.

"I'm afraid I must discuss a matter of great and terrible importance with you Jack,"

"I'm a bit busy at the moment doctor, can't it wait?"

"Please Jack it involves the slaughter of many innocence," Strange pleaded with him.

The Rider contemplated his options.

"Very well meet me at my apartment. I'll be there...momentarily,"

Strange nodded and was about to leave when the Rider spoke again.

"Oh Stephen, would you be so kind as to alert the police to this ally? So they could pick up the children and whatever remains of this 'leech," the Rider asked politely.

The before mentioned 'leech' gulped in fear.

"As you wish Jack but please hurry time is of the essence," the doctor answered and disappeared in a cloud of smoke, leaving the Rider to his task.

"Now where were we? Oh yes. LOOK. INTO. MY. EYES." the last thing herd in that ally was a shrill scream. Then Deathly Silence followed.

Jack Claymore's Apartment.

New York.

Doctor Strange looked around Jack's apartment. He was particularly interested in a set of shelves that held many black jars. All of which were sealed with red wax and had sigils drawn in chalk all over them. The doctor grinned in admiration, until the door opened and Jack walked in. He placed his hat on the rack next to the door.

Jack wasn't a handsome man but not entirely ugly either, he had a mess of curly brown hair, a reddish goatee that gained him the nickname of Calico Jack from his Rider brethren.

He strode past the doctor and sat in a large arm chair that was stationed in the center of the room. They sat in relatively comfortable silence until the doctor broke it.

"I see you've been busy," Strange said, nodding towards the shelves that held the black jars.

"Very much, been a long month," replied Jack.

"It's not that I doubt your abilities Jack, but isn't it dangerous to keep demon prison jars in your home? Even for you?"

"Not at all those jars are perfectly sealed. The Sigils are strongest there are and the clay came straight from Jerusalem. I was taught about demon hunting from the best," He answered with a sly smile.

"You mean those two brothers out west?"(1) asked the doctor.

"They are the best Stephen,"

"No doubt, but don't they usually just exercise them back to hell?"

"True but those are very low level demons these bad boys," he gestured to the shelves "Are a lot more powerful, and a lot more dangerous. They would escape within a month and cause trouble somewhere else, so I figured it'd be safer to keep a watchful eye on them. I've been meaning to deliver them to your sanctum but then there was the spike in child abductions and I decided to focus on that,"

"Is that what you were attending to in that ally?" Strange questioned.

"Yes it was, I finally tracked down the lieutenant that was managing the operation, and I was able to confirm my theory on who was running the whole thing,"

"Who would be so cruel and heartless as to sell children?"

"The same man who is capable of any despicable act. Kingpin,"

"I should of known, the slime. So where is he hiding?"

"He's been hunkering down in an old warehouse down by the docks. I finally have that rat cornered, but enough about my hobbies. Tell me my old friend what has you so troubled that you require the aid of a young Rider," Jack asked cheerfully. Stephen stared at him with worry in his eyes.

"Jack you may want to sit down it's a long story,"

"I'm already dreading it,"

Jack sat in his chair and listened to Dr. Stranger's woeful tale about the distant world and the evil that threatens to consume it. He also told about his plan to save it and what part Jack would play in it. Jack sat there with a dumbstruck look on his face.

"YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT!" Jack yelled; he wasn't sure he'd herd his friend correctly.

"I need you to travel to another dimension and face an unknown horror," Strange repeated.

"Stephen do you know what happened the last time I traveled to another plain of existence?" Jack asked.

"The second heavenly war,"

"That was only the last part. Before that I was stuck in hell for three months. Do you know how long three months on Earth is in hell?"

"About three hundred years,"

"THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF FIRE AND TORMENT STEPHEN!" Jack yelled.

"Now I know I'm on fire ninety five percent of the time, but when you're surrounded by it and the hundreds of evil demons and souls you sent down there in the first place, all of which want a piece of me because turns out that they don't like it there either; it all starts to get real old real fast. Then when I was finally called up only to fight a rouge power hungry angel, after which the antichrist kid blackheart and his army showed up trying to take heaven as his own. Sure after fighting Zadkiel blackheart wasn't so bad but it was just the perfect end to that journey. Then myself and a few others were sent back down to earth to continue our work and just when I thought I had found some form of peace you come at me with this crap,"

The doctor waited for the young Rider to finish his rant before continuing.

"Jack I know you've been through a lot but this world is in danger of having everything good and pure devoured by an evil so vast it covers the planet like a storm. Please Jack they need you,"

"What about the children here Stephen? They need me too they're being sold to God knows who. Forced to do God knows what, I won't abandon them," Jack reminded him.

Dr. Strange laid a comforting hand on Jack's shoulder.

"Jack I promise you these children will not be forgotten. While you are gone I will personally continue your work and save them I'll even get the Avengers involved these children will be saved. But Jack right now there are hundreds of innocent people men, women, and especially children that are being slaughtered by this evil. Only there is no hope for them because their savior is in another dimension and cannot save them. Please Jack you're their only hope," Strange reasoned

Jack sat in silence and contemplated what his old friend had told him, after a minute he released a sigh of defeat.

"Fine, fine you're right Stephen. I'll do it, but here take this," he said as he pulled out a key from one of his pockets and handed it to Strange.

"This key will open the closet in my bedroom inside you'll find enough evidence to break this kidnapping ring. I wasn't going to use it because kingpin would just buy his way out of prison in a week, but it'll cause so much to his child trade that he'll have to cut his losses,"

"This is very impressive Jack you have my word we'll save the children. Now we must be off there is much to prepare,"

"Go on without me Stephen I have to gather some supplies as I suspect this will be a long trip,"

"Very well Jack but do hurry as time is of the essence. I will be waiting for you at the sanctum," the good doctor then disappeared in his signature purple smoke; leaving Jack alone to prepare for his date with destiny.

Jack walked into his bedroom and pulled a large duffel bag from under his bed and filled it with his weapons, the first of which was a gun of his own design, the weapon was a four barrel eight gauge semi auto shotgun that he affectionately nicked name the horseman, next were two M1911 pistols finally a lever action rifle, along with a sawed tooth machete and a katana.

He then walked over to his dresser and pulled from the top drawer an old wooden box, that when opened revealed the contents. Inside was and old colt army revolver with strange symbols carved into the handle, and a phrase in Latin engraved on the barrel. 'Non Timebo Mala' ' I Will Fear No Evil. Sam, Dean thank you guys for this.

If the evil that Stephen spoke of is as horrid as he described then this will come in handy. I will miss you guys.' Jack then packed the box along with two personal items an iPod and an e-reader both of which were modified by Tony Stark himself. They were adjusted to never run out of power, unbreakable, and able to withstand extreme heat, and considering his profession this was quite an advantage. He then zipped up his bag, grabbed his fedora and walked out the door.

Sanctum Sanctorum.

New York.

Jack walked up to the grand doors of the Sanctum he rang the bell and waited to be let in. Wong opened the door with a great smile.

" Jack how great it is to see you,"

"Hello Wong I forgot to mention to Stephen that I no longer have a mount,"

"Yes we prepared one for you. The doctor will see you now,"

Wong led Jack in to the grand main room of the sanctum there in the middle was a large sigil on its outer perimeter kneeled Dr. Strange putting on the finishing touches. He stood and greeted the young Rider.

"Jack welcome to my home. Are you ready?" he said with a very serious tone.

"Yes but Wong said you had a mount for me?" the doctor smiles

"Yes and I do believe you shall be quite taken with her,"

Wong then appeared from the shadows leading a horse along behind him, the animal was a beautiful black mare with silver mane and tail. She walked straight up to Jack and placed her face into his palm.

"She's absolutely breathtaking Stephen. Simply gorgeous,"

Strange smiled "I'm glad you approve. Took me quite the time to find her, she's a…"

"Hell Horse." Jack finished for him.

"You're familiar with this kind of creature?" Strange asked

"Yes Carter Slade had one when he was a Ghost Rider. I was fortunate to work with him before he passed on," Jack explained his knowledge.

"Ahh I see. Also Jack one more gift," Strange then pulled a green amulet out from his pocket; it had a slight glow about it.

"This amulet will keep you hidden from the evil until you directly attack. I am sorry I can't inform you more about it I'm afraid it was clouded from my view, but what I can tell you is its very large and extremely hungry. Now again you will be shielded from it until you attack it but once you do it will sense your presence,"

"Then it will learn to fear it,"

"That confidence will serve you well. Do you have any more questions before we begin?"

"Yes but not for you," he turned to the horse "What's your name gorgeous?" he asked.

'Ayla' she responded mentally.

"Ayla that's a lovely name."

"You can communicate with her?" asked Strange.

"All Riders can communicate with their mounts Stephen even if they are machines all right were ready,"

"Very good step into the middle of the sigil there you will set it ablaze with Hellfire, and then you will be transported to the world. I'm not sure where you'll end up but it won't be far from the last refuge of human civilization, and at the same time very close to the evil so be prepared,"

"Thank you doctor for everything,"

"Good luck Jack Claymore. God Speed,"

Jack nodded to Strange and stepped into the sigil where he then proceeded to set it ablaze. A bright light surrounded him and Ayla and in a blink of an eye they were gone.

A Forrest Outside Wall Maria.

Jack and Ayla materialised in the depth of a large forest filled with enormous trees.

"The air is so clean here, there's no trace of smog or pollution. I can sense the human populace coming from that direction. Let's head that way and see if we can't find someone in charge, I also feel the evil so we should tread carefully. Best get a move on,"

He and Ayla strode through the forest until they came to a clearing where they behold a sight of great majesty.

"Wow that is a big wall,"

There before them stood a wall of immense size standing close to two hundred feet and stretched farther than the eye could see.

"This must be what the humans are using to keep out the evil. They must be desperate to box themselves in like this."

There was a very large hole that had seemed to be knocked down on the wall.

"Oh it seems to have been breached. Let's head in through there and see if we can't get a clue as to what we're dealing with,"

'This can't be good Jack' Ayla said.

"I agree but the amulet will shield us,"

They headed towards the crude opening, they soon crossed through it.

"I wonder what could be strong enou...Holy Mother Of God." Jack exclaimed in shock, for there he saw a horror he was not prepared for.

Beyond the wall was a large clearing and in said clearing stood enormous monstrosities ranging in size and shape. All of them appeared to be human like yet also deformed in some way with disposition limbs, missing skin, or very large heads. Most had sickening smiles smeared across their ugly faces and seemed to wonder around without any direction. They completely ignored the Rider and his steed.

"Well darling I do believe we have found the evil that Stephen spoke of. Most defiantly I can sense the innocent blood staining their souls. There's also another wall up ahead let's just keep our cool and not waste the amulet. No need to wage battle yet,"

Jack and Ayla strode towards the second wall evading the monsters with great care. Jack noticed some figures on the top of the wall seeming to be keeping guard. Suddenly a flash of yellow lightning struck near the wall blinding Jack for a split second, when he gained back his sight what he saw shocked him to his core.

There standing against the wall was the largest giant he had seen. It stood over two hundred feet and was a head taller than the wall, its body was completely lack of skin and showed only muscle and tendons. He looked like a page in an anatomy book. It the proceeded to kick a hole in to the wall and ran its arm across the top send the before mentioned figures to their doom.

Except for one that was swinging toward the giant.

"Is Parker here as well?" Jack thought out loud the figure seemed to be aiming for the giant's neck but before it reached it the giant vanished in a burst of steam. The figure swang away after falling a bit leaving Jack speechless.

"How did it do... no, No time to be distracted; we have to clog that hole before the others get in I should be able to..." Jack was stopped mid-sentence when another bolt of lightning struck many yards behind him.

"...oh hell," was all he could say before another large giant ran past him, almost trampling him in the process.

This one appeared to be armoured plated and ran straight for the wall's gate where he crashed right through it. The rest of the giants followed through.

"Crap. Crap. Crap. We've got to save as many people as we can let's go. YAHH!" he cried as he and Ayla turned into their Rider forms.

They rushed through the opening and down a street flying past the renaissance looking buildings were they turned a corner to observe one of the larger giants which face was covered in a grey beard, had cornered a blonde boy on a roof of one of the buildings.

"What is he going to do?" Jack wondered to himself.

His question was answered when the beast grabbed the boy and tossed him into its mouth followed suit by another boy who jumped in to save his friend.

"THEY'RE EATING CHILDREN!? THEY'RE EATING CHILDREN!? NOT ON MY WATCH UGLY YAHH!" Jack screamed, as he spurred Ayla into a run at blinding speed.

They ran towards the giant, he watched as the first boy was thrown out by the second who appeared to be keeping the giants mouth open with strained strength. Once Jack was close enough he shot out a chain with a hook at the end into the beast's mouth, catching the hook into its roof. He then used the chain to propel himself into the giant's mouth; he found the boy struggling to keep it open.

Jack grabbed onto the teeth of the giant and forced his mouth open further he looked down at the boy beside him who was staring up at him in shock.

"Sorry kid this is a one way trip, and only one passenger allowed,"

Jack then grabbed the boy by his jacket and threw him out of the giant's mouth and on to the roof next to his friend before letting the giant's mouth slam shut.

Said giant then tipped his head back and gulped Jack down.

"Eren did you see that?" asked the blonde boy.

"Yeah Armin I did. That thing was on fire, and he saved us,"

But there salvation seemed short-lived as the giant reached for his original meal. It stopped suddenly and grabbed for its stomach as in great pain the boys watched amazed as smoke begin to rise from the giant's mouth, when suddenly it's entire head burst into flames and burned fiercely for a few minutes. When the flames died down everything from the shoulders up was burnt away and all that remained was a charred skull and vertebra; the corpse of the giant fell flat on its back dead.

The boys peered over the edge of the roof and observe the body starting to steam and disintegrate when a loud bang was heard and a hole was blown out of the side of the creature's stomach. Out of the hole stepped the fire covered thing that saved them he was carrying a strange musket with four barrels.

The thing looked up at the boys before kneeling down a bit and jumping straight into the air landing right next to the frightened boys. They all stared at each other before the fiery skeleton said

"I was wondering if I could ask you boys a few questions?" the Rider asked.


(1) the two brothers are Sam and Dean Winchester they gave Jack the colt and taught him how to hunt demons he's like another brother to them so he'll talk about them a lot and he may get a visit from a certain trench coat angel and his demon girlfriend later on.
